baylor-20(130)....
baylor's star qb robert griffin is out for the year....his replacement is blake szymanski & he threw for 2800 yds. & 22 tds in 2007....while he is not as dynamic as griffin, blake has enough experience to put points on the board against an injury depleted kent st team....with kent st rb, jarvis out for the year & various graduations, 78% of last year's tds are gone for ksu....
with oklahoma up next, this is an important game for baylor's bowl hopes....on the other hand this is a mac sandwich for ksu, & i look for them to try to get out of this game with as few injuries as possible & get ready for their conference games....
play against - road underdogs of 21.5 to 31 points (ksu) - with an opportunistic defense - forcing 2.5 or more turnovers/game, after a game with a turnover margin of +2 or better....
since 1992 the ats record for this system is....23-3....88.5%....
the average line posted in these games was....team favored by 25.2....the average score in these games was: team 44, opponent 10.3....
over the last 3 seasons the system's record is....3-0....
ark..p....
with games against auburn, fla., & miss. upcoming, this is an important game for ark....a&m hasn't beaten a decent team yet under mike sherman....last year's wins came against army,new mex.,iowa st, & colorado....this year's wins were against new mex. again, utah st, & uab....not one of these teams made it to a bowl game....in the 8other games last year, a&m lost 45-22 on average....
here is an article that talks about ark's desire to perform well against a&m....
